Summary
Discourse vulnerable to group membership addition permission bypass via discourse-policy plugin
Details

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Versions prior to 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 have a security flaw in the discourse-policy plugin which allowed a user with policy creation permission to gain membership access to any private/restricted groups. Once membership to a private/restricted group has been obtained, the user will be able to read private topics that only the group has access to. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. As a workaround, review all policies for the use of add-users-to-group and temporarily remove the attribute from the policy. Alternatively, disable the discourse-policy plugin by disabling the policy_enabled site setting.
